Night In

There's no shame in staying on the couch for a block of hours wearing sweatpants and eating take-out chinese food with the one you love.

In fact, it's quite lovely.

Currently watching Planet Earth, and loving every second of it. Very wow.

Thanksgiving Came Early!

Due to my work schedule, my family celebrated Thanksgiving on Monday night and it was perfect! The feast was fabulous, the company was great, and the leftovers crowding our refrigerator are delicious little reminders of another beautiful holiday!

Fall is off to a lovely start, and now that I've had my turkey & stuffing, I am ready to dive into Christmas! Today I bought yards of garland for our staircase, and my daydreams are in full bloom. Speaking of holiday decor...

Pier 1 has some fabulous little tips & holiday ideas to make the season a bit easier on all, especially those who love it the most. Like me! I keep thinking my enthusiasm will rub off on Sweet J one day, and it still might. But for now, I have enough for us both. And then some! :-) Oh, and Oprah came! It was an exciting thing, to say the least. I'm jealous - wish I could have been in that audience, just like every other woman in America.

Last but not least, my parents have decided to do something new this year and as a joint birthday gift for me & my brothers, since we all have birthdays coming up in the next 3 weeks, we've booked a weekend trip to Callaway Gardens, complete with a package deal for the breathtaking Fantasy in Lights - it's been years since I've seen the display, and this will be a first for J. Can't think of a better way to spend the weekend before Christmas with the ones I love the most. xo

Cold Weather is Here...

and I am happy to stay warm inside! I bought a new book today (yay!) and I can't wait to get busy reading it. I saw it on Oprah a few weeks ago, and the storyline appealed to me immensely. I am happy to finally own it...now I just need to find the time to get lost in it.

Speaking of Oprah, she is scheduled to grace my town tomorrow. Imagine that - the tickets are far beyond sold out, and then some but I might keep my eyes open for a caravan of important looking people. Can't wait to see the show when it airs - who knows what she'll have up her sleeve?

Holidays are here and I am a happy girl.

Flutter, a pretty little test video.

Interesting Autumn

The Luckiest

Ben Folds wrote the most romantic song I have ever heard. I am the luckiest. Thinking of you, babe, when you're working. Wish you were here.
